[TenTec] T T rigs on DX peditions

[Arthur Bernstein]

I think  Paul hit it on the head. While there have been individuals 
going on DX peditions who've used Ten Tec gear, more often it's the 
large full blown efforts we hear about which have shown as sponsors some 
of the Japanese  manufacturers. Naturally their gear would be used. 
Either Ten Tec has chosen not to sponsor any DX Peditions or they are 
generally not asked to donate gear for such use. I don't think the 
operational  features have much to do with the decisions.
